Question

Riya bought a dress for Rs 5000 & sold it for 4500 Rs. Find her loss and loss percentage ​

Answer 1

Given :-

★ Selling price = Rs 4500

★ Cost price = Rs 5000

To Find :-

★ Loss & loss percentage

Solution :-

As we know,

☞ Loss = Cost price - Selling price

Now, put the values __

Loss = Rs (5000 -4500)

= Rs 500

☞ Loss percentage = ( Loss / Cost price) * 100

= (500/ 5000) * 100

= 10℅

Hence,

Loss = Rs 500

&

Loss percentage = 10℅

Answer 2

Given that ,

• Selling price (SP) = Rs 4500
• Cost Price (CP) = Rs 5000

As we know that ,

$\large \sf \fbox{Loss = CP - SP}$

Thus ,

Loss = 5000 - 4500

Loss = Rs 500

Now ,

$\large \sf \fbox{Loss \: \% = \frac{Loss}{CP} \times 100}$Thus ,

$\sf \mapsto Loss \: \% = \frac{500}{5000} \times 100 \\ \\\sf \mapsto Loss \: \% = 10 \: \%$

$\therefore \sf \underline{Loss = Rs \: 500 \: \: and \: \: Loss \: \% = 10 \: \%}$
